Prof. Dr. Daniela Iannazzo Dear Colleagues, Department of , University of , Contrada Graphene-based nanomaterials such as fullerenes, carbon Di Dio, I-98166 Messina, nanotubes, graphene oxide and graphene quantum dots [email protected] have shown great potential in nanomedicine and biotechnology. Their physical and chemical properties and Prof. Dr. Alessandro Pistone Department of Engineering, the presence of more reactive groups on the graphene University of Messina, Contrada surface, which allow the multimodal conjugation with Di Dio, I-98166 Messina, Italy different functional groups and biologically active [email protected] molecules, make them ideal candidates for cancer diagnosis and treatment. These nanomaterials have been conjugated with drugs and tumor-targeting ligands for a more efficient targeted delivery and have been also Deadline for manuscript submissions: investigated as imaging agents and biosensors for the 31 October 2021 identification of cancer bio-markers. “Graphene-based materials for cancer therapy” aims at collecting full papers communications and reviews that prominently demonstrate the continuous efforts in developing advanced, graphene-based nanomaterials for cancer treatment and diagnosis.

Editor-in-Chief Message from the Editor-in-Chief

Prof. Dr. Shirley Chiang Nanoscience and nanotechnology are exciting fields of Department of Physics, University research and development, with wide applications to of California Davis, One Shields electronic, optical, and magnetic devices, biology, Avenue, Davis, CA 95616-5270, USA , energy, and defense. At the heart of these fields are the synthesis, characterization, modeling, and applications of new materials with lower nanometer-scale dimensions, which we call “nanomaterials”. These materials can exhibit unusual mesoscopic properties and include nanoparticles, coatings and thin films, metal– organic frameworks, membranes, nano-alloys, quantum dots, self-assemblies, 2D materials such as graphene, and nanotubes. Our journal, Nanomaterials, has the goal of publishing the highest quality papers on all aspects of nanomaterial to an interdisciplinary scientific audience. All of our articles are published with rigorous refereeing and open access.
